I know it looks fake, but, unlike the NJ housewives, this is ALL REAL.  Why would anyone leave such a place!? Me and my sis (she’s not strangling me, we are just channeling our inner family Von Trapp)…sadly, this is the most normal of the 25 million dozen photos my Mom managed to get out of us.  My Dad sporting his “I’m the Boss” pin that he got for Father’s Day…and just in case you’re wondering, yes, that IS a fanny pack.  No, we weren’t going on a hike…that’s just his general “around the apartment”… Read more >
